57/64 Inch HSS Silver and Deming Drill Bit
This Drill America bit is a high-speed steel Silver and Deming drill designed for heavy-duty drilling tasks. It features a 1/2 inch reduced shank with three flats to prevent slipping in the chuck. The surface-treated flutes enhance chip evacuation and reduce friction during operation. It suits professional mechanics and fabricators who need to enlarge existing holes in metal.
Upgrading from standard twist drills for large holes
Standard twist drills typically max out at 1/2 inch shank capacity, limiting hole size. This bit bridges the gap, allowing 57/64 inch holes using a standard 1/2 inch drill chuck. The jump is worth it when a project requires a precise .8906 decimal equivalent diameter in steel or iron. It is not for buyers needing smaller pilot holes or those using impact drivers without a keyed chuck.

Questions about this item
What chuck size does the 1/2 reduced shank require?
The 1/2 inch reduced shank fits any drill chuck that accepts a 1/2 inch shank, allowing use with standard 1/2 inch capacity drills.
How do the 3-flatted shanks prevent the bit from spinning in the chuck?
Tighten each flat securely against the chuck jaws so the flats seat fully; the most common error is tightening on the round portion between flats.
